It was around 70 degrees today

Definitely snow hat weather.

I am thankful for...

(Bella)
-my mommy
-my sister
-my papa
-my whole family and my friends
-the treats I get from you (mommy) because they're really yummy
-the things you (mommy) let us do and how much fun you let us have
-holidays because there's always something fun you can do


(Matea)
-getting m&m's

So, at least one of them gets it.

Family Day

I had all of last weekend off so we took advantage of it and made a spontaneous road trip on Saturday. First, we drove down to Thousand Oaks and met a friend from Southern California at PF Changs for lunch. Steve was picking up a bike from him so he can start biking to work a few days a week and save us even more money every month. After a nice lunch, we headed back up this way, stopping at Kohl's for some clearance rack shopping and at a convenience store for grape ring pops. Last stop was the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Crazy Hair

Halloween 2009

Steve was Diego, I was a punk rocker, Bella was Belle and Matea was a hula girl by day (it was so freakin hot!) and Michael Jackson by night.

It was so fun to trick or treat in a "real" neighborhood last night. A few neighbors had mini haunted houses/Disneyland style decorated car ports so Steve has decided we need to out-do them next year. We spent all morning hitting all of the stores for clearance spooky decorations.
